Tackling the kitchen is one of the most difficult decluttering tasks around the house. Every now and then, it needs a thorough organizing.

The cabinets are challenging because there are several of them and they contain everything from pots and pans to food and spices. The best way to begin is to remove all of the contents of the cabinets, clean the shelves and then put everything back, except for the items you can purge.

Organizing the contents of the cabinets can be done by putting the most often used pots and pans in the front so they are readily available. Organize things in a way that makes sense to you.

Get rid of multiples. You only need one waffle maker. If you have small appliances stored in your cabinets that you never use, get rid of them to make more space for the things you need.

This handy checklist provided by Tri-Star Cabinet and Top Co. is a wonderful reference to help you get your kitchen cabinets organized. You’ll be in ship shape before the busy holiday season, which will be here before you know it.
